Once the same phase of play occurred a number of times (at least 10) the tactics would be seen as a pattern. The analysis on the next page is an example of the team’s tactics being used effectively, taken from a specific game. Each action, pass, individual movement with or without the ball, and the positioning of each player on the pitch including their body shape, are presented. The analysis is then used to create a full progressive session to coach this specific tactical situation. 29 ©SOCCERTUTOR.COM PEP GUARDIOLA’S ATTACKING TACTICS PEP GUARDIOLA Tactical Analysis - Positioning and Rotations with Inverted Full Backs POSITIONING AND ROTATIONS WITH INVERTED FULL BACKS Full Backs Move Towards the Inside when the Attacking Midfielders Take Up Advanced Positions Between the Lines One of Pep Guardiola’s tactical innovations is the Pep Guardiola uses Inverted full backs with his use of inverted full backs, which he also used at Manchester City team during certain tactical Bayern Munich. situations against all possible formations.

First of all, an effective triangle shape could be formed between the full back, winger and attacking midfielder, as shown in the diagram. 2. Creating a Double Triangle with Full Back in Possession In situations when the full back was in possession, the forward (10) would often drop into a deep position between the lines. Manchester City could then create a double triangle, providing the full back (18) with many passing options, as shown in the diagram. 31 ©SOCCERTUTOR.COM PEP GUARDIOLA’S ATTACKING TACTICS PEP GUARDIOLA Tactical Analysis - Positioning and Rotations with Inverted Full Backs ROTATING POSITIONS OF THE INVERTED FULL BACK, ATT.

Most importantly of all however, he will also bring success. That was the verdict of Rafael Benitez as his attentions turned back to English football this week after his European adventure ended. A two-season spell with Napoli - which contained an Italian Cup win - was followed by the realisation of a dream with Real Madrid. Sadly for Benitez – despite a glut of goals – he was sacked for reasons that have never become clear On Sunday, as he passes verdict on the FA Cup showdown at Stamford Bridge, he salutes the job done by Manuel Pellegrini but suggests also that the Chilean’s replacement is worth the hype. Getty Images High praise: Benitez credited the work done by Manuel Pellegrini at Man City He said: “Pellegrini is a very good manager – and a nice person as well. What Guardiola does or doesn’t do will not change that fact. “I have a lot of respect for Pellegrini. Manchester City have won trophies under him. Let’s not forget that. “As for Guardiola, I first met him a few years ago when Barcelona were playing at Valencia.

Email: fi[email protected] Edited by: JoseM´ endez´ [Received on 18 December 2020; editorial decision on 10 March 2021; accepted on 22 March 2021] We consider two large datasets consisting of all games played among top-tier European soccer clubs in the last 60 years, and among professional American basketball teams in the past 70 years. We leverage game data to build networks of pairwise interactions between the head coaches of the teams and measure their career performance in terms of PageRank centrality. We identify Arsene` Wenger, Sir Alex Ferguson, Jupp Heynckes, Carlo Ancelotti and Jose´ Mourinho as the top 5 European soccer coaches of all time. In American basketball, the first 5 positions of the all-time ranking are occupied by Red Auerbach, Gregg Popovich, Phil Jackson, Don Nelson and Lenny Wilkens. We further establish rankings by decade and season. We develop a simple methodology to monitor performance throughout a coach’s career, and to dynamically compare the performance of two or more coaches at a given time. The manuscript is accompanied by the website coachscore.luddy.indiana.edu where complete results of our analysis are accessible to the interested readers.

  • José Mourinho “Please Don't Call Me Arrogant, but I'm European
    José Mourinho “Please don't call me arrogant, but I'm European champion […] and I think I am a special one.” José Mourinho, introductory press conference at Chelsea FC, June 2004 “He takes over a club, briskly populates the trophy cabinet, captivates neutrals with his seething intelligence, then departs amid faltering performances and a foul atmosphere of his own creation. Chelsea from 2004 to 2007, then Inter Milan until 2010, then Real Madrid until 2013, now Chelsea again: a life of glory and transience.”i Janan Ganesh, political columnist for the Financial Times [What’s Mourinho’s biggest strength?] “Charisma!”ii Patrick Barclay, Mourinho’s biographer When in May 2016, José Mourinho was appointed as Manchester United’s manager many rejoiced at the prospect of seeing the most successful coach of the 21st century at the helm of a team that is still viewed as one of the most powerful in the world, in spite of falling out of grace since Sir Alex Ferguson’s dynasty came to an end in 2011. Others thought differently, they doubted Mourinho could adapt to Manchester United’s culture. Mourinho is, of course, the mythical coach capable of bringing teams of average and often relegated players to glory, as he did with both FC Porto and FC Internazionale Milano (Inter). Still, he never reached the European summit when managing some of the most expensive squads ever assembled while at Chelsea FC and Real Madrid (see Exhibit 1). By the time he arrived at Manchester United he had had an illustrious 16- year long career.
